Use this module to provision an IBM Cloud Red Hat OpenShift cluster on VPC Gen2. The module either creates the required Cloud Object Storage instance or uses an existing instance. The module also supports optionally passing a key management configuration for secret encryption and boot volume encryption.
Optionally, the module supports advanced security group management for the worker nodes, VPE, and load balancer associated with the cluster. This feature allows you to configure security groups for the cluster's worker nodes, VPE, and load balancer.
❗ Important: You can't update Red Hat OpenShift cluster nodes by using this module. The Terraform logic ignores updates to prevent possible destructive changes.
- Ensure that you have an up-to-date version of the IBM Cloud CLI.
- Ensure that you have an up-to-date version of the IBM Cloud Kubernetes service CLI.
- Ensure that you have an up-to-date version of the IBM Cloud VPC Infrastructure service CLI. Only required if providing additional security groups with the

The Terraform module provides options to attach additional security groups to the worker nodes, VPE, and load balancer associated with the cluster.
The custom_sg example demonstrates how to use these capabilities.
See the IBM Cloud documentation on this topic here
Tip: The terraform-ibm-security-groups module can be used to create security groups and rules.
- Additional security groups can be specified at cluster creation time. These security groups are attached to all worker nodes of the cluster, including additional worker nodes/pools added after the creation of the cluster. See the variable
custom_security_group_ids
. - Additional security groups can be specified for specific worker pools. These security groups only apply to the worker pool. See the field
additional_security_group_ids
in the variableworker_pools
.
In all cases, note that:
- The default VPC security is no longer attached to the worker nodes.
- You can opt-out of attaching the IBM-managed cluster security group (named kube-) through the flag
attach_ibm_managed_security_group
. - It is impossible to change the security groups associated with a cluster after the creation of that cluster.
- The IBM Cloud OCP stack creates VPEs by default. Prior to version 4.14, a VPE to the master is created. From version 4.14, VPEs to the master, container registry, and IBM Cloud kube APIs are created.
- You can attach additional security groups through the
additional_vpe_security_group_ids
variable. - The default IBM-managed security group is attached to those VPEs in all cases.
- The IBM Cloud OCP stack manages the lifecycle of VPC Loadbalancers for your cluster. See the LoadBalancer section in the Understanding options for exposing apps.
- By default, one load balancer is created at cluster creation for the default cluster ingress.
- You can attach additional security groups using the
additional_lb_security_group_ids
variable. This set of security groups is attached to all loadbalancers managed by the cluster. - Important: If additional load balancers are added after creating the cluster, for example, by exposing a Kubernetes service of type LoadBalancer, update the
number_of_lbs
variable and re-run this module to attach the extra security groups to the newly created load balancer. - The default IBM-managed security group is attached to the LBs in all cases.
-
When you run a
terraform plan
command, you might get a message about a new version of Kubernetes, as in the following example:kube_version = "4.12.16_openshift" -> "4.12.20_openshift" Unless you have made equivalent changes to your configuration, or ignored the relevant attributes using ignore_changes, the following plan may include actions to undo or respond to these changes.
A new version is detected because the Kubernetes master node is updated outside of Terraform, and the Terraform state is out of date with that version.
The Kubernetes version is ignored in the module code, so the infrastructure will not be modified. The message identifies that drift exists in the versions, and after running the
terraform apply
command, the state will be refreshed.
